P: Library Previews not updating

This hasn't ever happened to me previously and I edit hundreds of images a day, as a wedding photographer. Has only appeared since latest update (so far as I've seen). 

Edit an image in Develop mode, normally the thumbnail at the bottom would auto update with the new preview/look. It doesn't anymore. Go to Library mode to check, no, no update to the preview, it's still the old look. Force rebuild standard preview (and 1:1 preview) no effect. The Library preview will not update to the new look created in Develop mode. 

Quit LR, then restart it, the preview is updated. 

Even did a Sync of one process, which was converting to BW across 5 images. Four of the images changed profile to the new look, the 1st image in the group didn't. Stuck with previous old version of the look. Quit and restart LR it changed to new look.

    Further to my orginal post. Here is a screenshot showing the issue. I've synced the frame on the left (BW process) to the frame on the right. However, the preview in the thumbnails at the bottom still shows a colour image. Not the BW preview as it normally would. 

    If I click off the two image, then back on the image in question, the preview changes to the correct BW version. 

    NB this is not happening with every image. It's very random. But it is happening and can be repeated. I'm not looking for a cure, since this is not an issue that's causing me any pain. But I'm reporting it, so that Adobe can look into it and if others might be suffering the same issue, they can see they are not alone.

      There are lots of bugs in LrC 11.3 and 11.3.1 for both windows and mac systems. Post your bug report in that section of the forum using the guideline-recommended there.

        If LrC 11.2 was working fine for you I would recommend going back to that version.

        I'm reporting a bug, not trying to solve the issue. Going back a version would not repair the bug or fix the bug. It would merely mean it wouldn't happen for me. So of no use to the community as a whole.

          Works fine on my system, is it possible to update your OS?

          OS is 10.15.7 - which is the up to date version of Catalina. So nothing to upgrade to. Unless I upgrade a whole version, but since the cause is very unlikley to be system OS related, I don't see the relevance.

          Since version 11.3 I have the following problem: If I want to synchronize settings with other images in the development module, the settings are not always adopted (especially the cropping of the images). Furthermore, the settings are not displayed when viewing the images in the library module in most cases. The hardware and software requirements are met.

            If you look at one of the problem images in Develop, do you see the correct crop and settings there?

            In Develop crop an settings are correct. In Library crop an settings are not shown. I switched back to version 11.2. With 11.3 I can't work.

              After the latest update, there is a problem In the library module with rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.

               

              No change is displayed after rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.

              If you repeat the action, the image is rotated by 180°.

              So you have to rotate twice in one direction and once in the other direction.

                I am unable to reproduce the issue you desribe. Have you tried resetting the LrC preferences? This can now be done using an option in the Preference dialog ‘General’ tab to reset Preferences and relaunch the application. Note that reset button is only visible when you hold down the Option / Alt key.

                  After updating to the newest version I cannot "sync settings" in a large batch of photos anymore. It will sync settings on some of the selected images but randomly not sync on others. I'm not syncing any sort of preset either and also tried in develop module as well as library. This is a huge time saver and essential part of my workflow, please help!

                    Some troubleshooting steps:

                     

                    1. Perhaps LR has copied the settings to all the photos but hasn't updated the Library thumbnails for some of them. Select one of the photos that looks like it didn't get the settings and open it in Develop -- did the sliders get changed to the copied values?

                     

                    2. If not, try resetting LR's preferences:
                    https://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/


                    LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

                    It's not just the previews, when I click on the image there are no slider adjustments made. I reset prefrences and that didn't work either...
